After a long hard search I have finally found it.
It is Cinquefoil a herb. ::)

I get that in my garden too and while it might be a herb, it's an invasive one. I pull out all I can find.

Looks like ground elder to me, and it is a real pain - highly invasive and difficult to get rid of. The tiniest bit of root will grow back if you leave it in the ground.

The leaves are not quite right to be ground elder.  It looks more like cinquefoil and as Trillium says, you ought to get rid of it.
Cheese makes everything better.

As it's got 5 leaves, my vote goes to cinquefoil and yes it is a real thug, although prettier than ground elder but just as invasive - exterminate, exterminate!

It is Cinquefoil which is a herb but a medicinal herb rather than a culinary one !
